Naturally Gluten-Free Foods and Your Grocery List

It’s Friday! Here at SkinnyMs. that means more information on a diet that continues to become a lifestyle for many Americans. Ridding your body of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and many preservatives and food flavorings, may offer a variety of health benefits. Aside from younger-looking skin, more comfortable joints and boosted immunity, you may also notice digestive benefits, and a feeling of vitality after even a week of eating gluten-free.

For those with Celiac disease, eating gluten triggers an immune response that causes an attack on the lining of the small intestine, which can also damage other parts of the body. This damage can reduce absorption of nutrients from food and increase the risk of a variety of diseases including that of the bones, and intestines.
